I love, love, love children's books and I am a young adult. I especially love the books that have few words and tons of colorful pictures. After I finish one of those books I feel so accomplished and I usually walk away with a reminder of a good moral lesson.

Yes especially when I'm babysitting. I also like to read any new Magic Treehouse books that have come out. I usually read young adult novels but I wouldn't really count them as children's books.

Of course. I love reading them especially the Harry Potter books. It takes the stress away after going to work.

Yes. I still read children's books. Those books have incredibly marvelous lessons. It is interesting that the lessons are stated in a simple manner yet most of the times cut us to the very edge.

I read children's books all the time, mostly YA and middle grade fiction. But honestly, I always love finding a great picture book, too. Children's books can be really wonderful when they're well done.

I occasionally read YA lit, but I don't typically read children's books.

I haven't read anything from the children's book section in a long time. I did plenty of reading of those books as a child but I've just never gotten back to them as an adult, however, I was thinking about "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe" the other day and thinking I should re-read it.

Sometimes! I do sometimes find it difficult to get into the more simplistic writing style but they're definitely usually interesting and lighthearted.

Is this a trick question? I spend a lot of time reviewing young adult novels as a hobby (and now a job). I do love the Fear Street novels though. They still manage to trap my imagination.

Yes, I still read and enjoy children's books. The lessons one learns from them apply to all ages. In fact, I still do connect the dots or color the numbers whenever the opportunity presents itself. I recommend engaging in these simple and perhaps, silly to some, activities as they are great relievers of stress and boredom. Try it!

Totally! There are times when I want to read books but don't have enough time to finish a long novel in one sitting. So I choose to read children's books. It's fun because you get to remember how I developed my love for reading. Children's books are awesome, in a way.

Can't say that I do, being an adult and never a father. My second wife has two sons but both are adults living in other states.

The last children's book I read was Love You Forever, a gift from a friend after I lost my mother. I truly enjoyed it and read it maybe three times in the first few years after Mom passed away. I even wrote a review on Amazon. But I'm amazed by the number of reviews on Amazon that pan it as "creepy."
